Language in Dickson
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
Only 8.8% of people in Dickson use a language other than English at home, which is far below the national figure. This makes the area much less linguistically diverse than most other parts of Australia. While this figure has risen slightly since 2011, English remains the dominant language for the vast majority of residents.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
English is spoken by 88% of the population, with very few residents speaking little or no English. This low level of non-English use is well below the Queensland average, though small numbers of people speak Hindi, Mandarin, or Tagalog.
